OOTD #20

 

 

Hello Readers,

I thought I'd update my blog with an OOTD. It's been almost 20 days since my last one so I think it's well overdue considering I wanted to turn my blog into one that was a bit more fashion based. My reason for not really posting many outfit shots is because I honestly spend SO much of my time in my pyjamas and anytime I do get dressed and go anywhere I never really wear anything particularly exciting. 

 

Today I went out and decided to try and start my Christmas shopping but unfortunately returned empty handed but with a belly full of Mcdonalds instead. I've made a list of what I want to get everyone, I just need to look around online and in store and see where I can get the better deal. Well, that's what I'm telling myself so I feel better. I decided that I'd try and style my new Daisy printed jumper that my boyfriend got me for my birthday. It's quite a loud printed jumper so initially I wasn't sure how I was going to style it. I stayed true to my normal dress sense and paired it with a black pleated leather skater skirt, a white shirt, black tights and my comfy cut out boots.

To some of you, you may be thinking, well that doesn't look like a very loud jumper to me, but honestly for me personally I felt so colourful which is ironic considering all my outfit is pretty much black. It's crazy how just a few splodges of yellow on a jumper can make me feel like that haha.

Oh and I'd just like to add that I look absolutely miserable in these pictures so please excuse that and the lighting is pretty horrific also. I really need to find a good location indoors to take my OOTD pictures as it's too cold to go outside now..

That's all for this post, I hope you're all well!



OOTD #19



Hello Readers,

Today I have an OOTD post for you all. It's been a little while since my last one as the colder weather has kicked in and I don't particularly want to be standing around taking pictures in the rain or gail force winds. I'm still yet to find a decent indoor space to do my OOTD shots, this time I tried the hallway in the block of flats that I live in. I'm not really the biggest fan of these images however I really wanted to get these up as I'd love to turn my blog into a bit more of a fashion based one.

I finally decided to wear the cat print skater skirt I picked up from H&M back in September. I styled it quite simply, just with a plain white boyfriend style tshirt, a bowler hat and some cut out boots. I believe the skirt is quite a statement piece due to the abstract print so I decided just to play it safe and style the rest of the outfit in quite a minimalistic way. I'm a big fan of monochrome and minimalism as you may know!

Outfit:
Cat Print Skirt - H&M
White Boyfriend T-shirt - Topman
Black Cut Out Boots - Ebay
Black Tights - Primark
Bowler Hat - Amazon.

That's all for this post, I'm off now to try and tackle the challenge that is UCAS!
I hope you're all well.

 

 

OOTD #18

Hello Readers,

 

 

 

 

I've already tried to do this post once today but it messed up so hopefully this time it works! Today I have an OOTD post for you all. I'd just like to apologize for the quality of these photographs as they're not very good. I had to take these images during the evening so the lighting sucks. I spent my day handing out more CV's and just in general walking around Nottingham. Me and my boyfriend Chris also stopped to have lunch at this adorable little café called the Olive Tree. I wish I had bought my camera along to snap some pictures!

My outfit today was quite simple, I decided to wear my brand new Motel Rocks shirt which I picked up in their recent sale for £19. Believe it or not but that was the first time I've ever placed an order with Motel Rocks and I'd gladly do it again. I was super happy with the service and the quality of my items. I shall do a small haul post within the next few days where I'll show you the other Motel item I picked up as well as this shirt.

Outfit:

Faux Leather Skirt - H&M
Cropped Printed Shirt - Motel Rocks
Tights - Primark
Backpack - Primark
Bowler Hat - Amazon

That's it for this post, I hope you're all well!

 



Mini Haul #5

Hello Readers.

Today I have a very, very mini clothing haul to share with you. I wanted to wait until I had accumulated a few more things however I don't really have much money to spend at the minute so I might as well just show you what I have already. I mentioned in my post yesterday that I had picked up one item from H&M and being the naughty spender I am, I wandered back up town today and headed into Primark which resulted in 2 more purchases. So on with the haul!


The first thing I'm going to talk about is this super adorable cat print skirt that I got from H&M. This cost around £12.99 which I think it quite expensive for what it is, however I love it and just couldn't resist buying it. I originally intended to buy the skater dress version of this, however me and my boyfriend both agreed that I'd probably have an easier time styling the skirt. I picked this up in an 8, however I probably could have done with a 6 as this is slightly loose around my stomach. I can't wait to style this piece and do an OOTD post wearing it.

Next item I picked up was this beautiful tartan scarf from Primark. If you have been keeping up with my blog you will have seen my post on Plaid being a big A/W trend for this year and I can safely say that's true. I've seen loads of tartan pieces whilst I was out shopping today so I thought I'd embrace this trend and finally pick up a tartan scarf which I have wanted for quite a long time now. This scarf was about £4.

 

(Apologies for the awful picture)

The final thing I picked up was this dark, denim pinafore which was also from Primark. I mentioned in my wishlist post the other day that I really wanted one and I finally found one at an affordable price so I picked it up straight away. This pinafore has little faux leather straps which makes it even better in my books! I can't wait to style this and feature this in a few blog posts so keep an eye out for that. I picked this up in a size 6 and this cost around £12.

That's all for this mini haul. I hope you enjoy!
Let me know what you think of some of these pieces below.

I hope you're all well.

Paige.

 

OOTD #13

 

Hello Readers.

Today when I got up I decided to make a bit of an effort with my appearance despite not really doing anything today so this gave me the perfect opportunity to do an OOTD post. The only thing I have done today was nipping up town for a little while and this then resulted in a cheeky little clothing purchase from H&M. I'll wait until I've purchased a few more things before I show you what I bought as there's not much point in just showing you the one item. So as I was saying, I decided to make an effort in what I was wearing today and I set myself the challenge of styling a leather skirt that I got a while back, which coincidently is also from H&M. I don't wear this skirt much as I find it quite hard to style, I decided to keep the styling really simplistic and went for a monochrome theme. It's a very simple outfit, however the accessories and lipstick help to make it a bit more interesting.
